 Ibas announces phased rehabilitation of Rivers State Secretariat


The Rivers State Administrator, Retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, has announced plans for the phased rehabilitation of the State Secretariat Complex as part of his commitment to enhancing public service efficiency and workforce welfare.


He made the announcement during the closing ceremony of a 4-day Transformational Leadership Training Workshop organized by his administration in collaboration with the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS). The workshop, held in Port Harcourt, was designed to equip Permanent Secretaries, Local Government Administrators, Directors, and senior officers with cutting-edge leadership skills to drive governance reforms.


Ibas emphasized that while capacity-building initiatives like the workshop are critical, the physical work environment must also support productivity and excellence. “During a recent inspection of the State Secretariat, I took a deliberate walk, floor by floor, to assess working conditions firsthand. The challenges—erratic power supply, non-functional elevators, unsanitary facilities, and inadequate work tools were sobering. We cannot demand peak performance while neglecting the basics,” he stated.


To address these concerns, the Administrator announced a phased rehabilitation of the State Secretariat to ensure a modern, efficient, and dignified workspace and a review of public service welfare policy to better motivate civil servants within available resources. “God willing, I will ensure that your work environment reflects the respect and dignity your service deserves,” he affirmed.
